 * Hi,
    Using the plugin and my email shortcodes are not working, other than [section].
   I have tried many different combinations, and also am unable to get the [confirmation-
   link] shortcode to work for when my users are registering. Here is some sample
   email block I sent and received the same thing, with no substitutions.
 * [First Name] [Last Name] [Username] [confirmation-link] [first-name] [last-name][
   username]
 * That is what I received looked like as well. Thanks for your help!

 * Hi trav,
 * The default shortcodes are [username], [user-id] and [join-date]. Beyond that,
   you can include a field value by putting the field name, such as [First Name](
   you have to make sure that “First Name” is the exact case-sensitive name of your
   field). Also, [confirmation-link] can only be used in the registration email 
   that is sent to the user.
